Thanks to TikTok, this Lululemon staple is everywhere, and for good reason. Designed for on-the-go, the bag can be worn around the waist as a belt or as a crossbody. It keeps arms and hands-free and offers more security compared to shoulder bags.

Available in 15 color patterns, the Wise Owl portable hammock can support two people (did someone say cuddles?) and promises a setup time of less than five minutes. It’s perfect for both camping and backyard stargazing, and height adjustable.

If your valentine shows their love through cooking, give them a gift that keeps on giving. A food processor won’t only make them feel like a professional chef, but it will cut their prep time and mess in half. Now, they can spend less time cutting and slicing and more time actually cooking!

As a makeup aficionado, your boo probably has every trending TikTok beauty product under the sun but Selena Gomez’s liquid blush is one that’s recently popped off. The liquid product, which comes in both matte and radiant finishes, is sold in over 10 colors.

Take your partner’s shower concert to new heights with a wireless shower speaker. The speaker boasts a six-hour battery life and can be submerged in up to three feet of water. Connect via Bluetooth to blast tunes, listen to an audiobook, or take a long-distance call — *wink, wink.*

While fresh flowers are a timeless, thoughtful gift, they often don’t live long enough for us to fully enjoy them. Instead, opt for a dried flower arrangement this Valentine’s Day. You can pick from a wide selection of sizes and flowers, and the preserved buds last for years!

If your lover is trying to get their TikTok or Instagram off the ground, help get them one step closer by upgrading their content studio with a ring light. Go ahead and snap a few selfies together, too, while you’re at it!

Those with a zest for wanderlust will appreciate this thoughtful gift. Packing cubes make cramming clothes, shoes, and other essentials so much easier. Plus, you can store clean and dirty items separately, organize clothes by outfit or material, and keep shoes locked away.

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovelies!
